MEXICAN HASHBROWN POTATO CASSEROLE



Mexican Hashbrown Potato Casserole image

This is the first recipe of my own that I've shared with anybody. This is a great, easy casserole that uses up that partial bag of frozen hashbrowns in your freezer. Tastes really good and is very flexible. Any ingredient can be substituted or omitted and quantities are flexible to taste. As a vegetarian, I made it veggie...but you can easily brown ground beef or chicken and add it to the mixture before baking. I hope you enjoy it!
